Simple: because not everyone wants to use C# (or VB, heaven forbid) as their scripting language. My little 'thought-experiment' was to see if people would think a language/platform/UI-agnostic way of building rich-client webapplications would be at all possible (or worth striving for, even). The whole .NET/Mono framework, although impressive, won't be able to encompass all other languages, although it would narrow the amount of development necessary (which is why I also mentioned Parrot as a likely candidate). In my design I strived for an architecture that would be as flexible/extendable as possible and would push XUL forward down the road of both KaXul/desktop applications and more useful web applications, free for both closed and opensource applications, buildable using any existing scripting language. If anyone can point me towards such an existing project, I'm all ears :) Your quick response and plugging of your own project seems to reinforce my idea of hitting upon something interesting, worth exploring further :) cheers, Alex PS. please send a CC this way when replying, as I'm not on the list ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by Black Hat Briefings & Training.
